A Billion Sea Creatures Have Been Cooked To Death By The Blazing Heat
Francesco Abbruzzino, The Uncensored Report, LLC
Did you know that a billion sea creatures were just wiped out on the west coast? And they did not die pleasantly. The historic “heat dome” that hit the Northwest like a freight train literally cooked them to death. Needless to say, this is not normal. In fact, we have never, ever seen anything like this before. Weather patterns all over the planet are going absolutely nuts, and this is having a devastating impact on many highly vulnerable ecosystems.
I knew that the recent heat wave was really bad, but I didn’t know that it had caused this much destruction. According to NPR, it is being estimated that the record high temperatures along the west coast killed at least a billion sea creatures…
With the Pacific region hitting record-setting temperatures in the last few weeks, a new study from Canada shows the heat waves’ enormous impact on marine life: An estimated 1 billion sea creatures on the coast of Vancouver have died as a result of the heat, a researcher said.
It is hard for me to wrap my mind around a billion sudden deaths.
Why isn’t the corporate media making a much bigger deal about this?
Can’t they take a break from obsessing over the latest political scandals for just a little bit so that they can report on the things that really matter?
A billion deaths is an unimaginable loss, but Professor Christopher Harley says that the true death toll is probably even higher than that…
But that number is likely to be much higher, said professor Christopher Harley from the University of British Columbia.
“I’ve been working in the Pacific Northwest for most of the past 25 years, and I have not seen anything like this here,” he said. “This is far more extensive than anything I’ve ever seen.”
Harley is comparing a mussel trapped on the beach to “a toddler left in a car on a hot day”. When the record heat came along, there was nothing that the mussels could do…
“A mussel on the shore in some ways is like a toddler left in a car on a hot day,” Harley told the CBC. “They are stuck there until the parent comes back, or in this case, the tide comes back in, and there’s very little they can do. They’re at the mercy of the environment. And on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, during the heat wave, it just got so hot that the mussels, there was nothing they could do.”
Millions upon millions of sea creatures were literally cooked to death, and the scene along the coast is nothing short of horrifying…
Dead mussels and clams coated rocks in the Pacific Northwest, their shells gaping open as if they had been boiled. Sea stars were baked to death. Sockeye salmon swam sluggishly in an overheated Washington river, prompting wildlife officials to truck them to cooler areas.
This is truly a disaster of biblical proportions.
When are people finally going to start waking up?
